I really enjoyed being interviewed for this podcast. Really insightful questions and a great opportunity to speak about the internal logic of OCD and the factors in its persistence.

Agree with ⁦John Ibbitson⁩ & other experts that it’s well beyond time for this country to take concrete steps to meet NATO commitments. As a total military laggard, Cda’s international credibility is in the tank.⁦Dave Perry⁩ theglobeandmail.com/politics/opini…

I had so much fun doing that interview with Steve. He’s the best in the business.

Dark, sad news.

Globe’s John Ibbitson: “Canada is back,” Mr. Trudeau told the world in 2015. The exact opposite is true. Canada today has a lower standing in the eyes of both allies and adversaries than at any time since the outbreak of the Second World War. theglobeandmail.com/politics/opini…

John Ibbitson You are entirely right. This lack of investment could have disastrous consequences for Canada's sovereignty and credibility among allies

Another well-written indictment by ⁦John Ibbitson⁩. He’s right on all essential points. Together w threats to Cda’s territorial sovereignty, we lose influence in critical int’l business & trade fields.⁦Dave Perry⁩ ⁦Macdonald-Laurier Institute⁩ theglobeandmail.com/politics/opini…

I’d say you’re describing what a good conservative political leader does: governs quietly and leaves the place a little better than they found it. But also don’t forget the impressive record on trade agreements, and best-in-G7 handling of the financial crisis.

Welcome aboard! One of the most important jobs in the field, these days. Great to have you with us.

I agree. The tonight quintet in West Side Story does much the same thing. Did the former inspire the latter?

This is a beautifully written story of parallels and hopes for Canada’s future.
